We Believe
in You.
At The Hun School of Princeton, we believe in joyful learning. We challenge our students academically, but even more, we expand their potential, their confidence, and their dreams.
We Believe
In a journey shaped by mentorship, vigor, and joy.
Setbacks are just the first step to soaring.
Growth doesn't happen by playing it safe. We encourage students to embrace obstacles, learn from failure, and build the confidence to persevere. With the support of dedicated mentors along the way, every setback becomes an opportunity to discover what's possible.
Laughter has a place in the classroom.
It’s an essential part of learning. When students feel comfortable enough to ask questions, take risks, and be themselves, curiosity thrives. Moments of laughter create stronger connections, deeper engagement, and an education experience that sticks.
The best way to learn is through doing.
Real understanding comes from experience. Whether they're solving real-world problems, creating something new, exploring unfamiliar places, or collaborating with others, students learn by engaging fully with the world around them.
Great teaching begins with truly knowing you.
It’s personal. Our teachers take the time to understand each student's strengths, challenges, and aspirations, providing the guidance, encouragement, and support they need to grow.
Middle
School
Grades 6-8
We Believe
Curiosity Grows with Comfort.
Hun students know academic challenge and joy aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, neuroscience research suggests that a good chuckle activates long-term memory and stimulates students' sense of wonder. A Hun classroom is both vigorous and joyful.
Upper
School
Grades 9-PG
We Believe
Home is More Than a Place — It's a Community.
Our community is small but our program is big. Our residential experience is specifically designed to offer students a supportive environment and an immersive introduction to the wider world. By living at Hun, students extend their learning beyond the classroom.
We Believe
the Best Ideas are Just Around the Corner.
We Believe
Signature Experiences Reveal Signature Strengths.
NextTerm
Every May, students in grades 9–11 spend three weeks immersed in credit-bearing, project-based experiences beyond the traditional classroom. Through travel, hands-on learning, and interdisciplinary exploration, they tackle real-world challenges, connect ideas across disciplines, and discover new perspectives by learning through doing.
Scholars Program
The Scholars Program empowers students to chart their own academic journey. Starting in tenth grade, interested students can pursue a topic they're passionate about, tailoring their coursework to support their interests. Along the way, they complete independent, honors-level presentations and projects under the guidance of faculty mentors, transforming curiosity into a meaningful learning experience.
Cultural Competency
With students from around the world, every day offers an opportunity to broaden perspectives. Through cultural celebrations, meaningful dialogue, and immersive programming, students deepen their understanding of themselves and others while building the empathy and global mindset that prepare them to thrive in any community.
Leadership Cohorts
Through mentorship, reflection, and hands-on workshops, these two-year leadership cohorts empower students to strengthen communication, navigate challenges, and develop the resilience and practical leadership skills to inspire others, lead with integrity, and make a positive impact in their communities.
Extra Help
Built into every school day, Extra Help gives students dedicated time to meet one-on-one with teachers, ask questions, strengthen their understanding, and build the enthusiasm to take on new challenges.
The Hun Way
The Hun Way is a community-building program that helps Middle School students begin the year by forming meaningful connections with their peers and teachers. Through team-building, cultural competency, and positive psychology, students develop self-awareness, strengthen relationships, and build the foundation for a supportive and inclusive school community.
We Believe
the Best Moments are Shared.
We are a joyful, striving community of learners and teachers who want to experience something profound every day: that sweet spot between challenging academics and the personal endeavors that make our hearts soar.

Before arriving at Hun from Shanghai, Coco Z. ’23 had never studied philosophy. But when she joined the Philosophy Club on a whim to connect with classmates virtually, it sparked an unexpected passion. That curiosity quickly expanded into deep academic exploration — from Intro to Philosophy to a NextTerm course on transcendentalism. It was during that NextTerm trip, watching a 4:00 a.m. sunrise from a kayak, that Coco realized philosophy wasn’t just a subject; it was a lens through which she wanted to experience the world.

Growing up around his father’s work in general contracting, Jack O. ’24 was no stranger to carpentry — but he never imagined it as a career path until a requirement to fill an art credit led him to technical theater on a whim.

At The Hun School, stepping out of your comfort zone is often the first step toward finding your lifelong passion.
